Just wondering.................
I am a little unsure of the outcome for the pilots that chose to accept a First Officer Interview on the freighter fleet.
After all it's an interview and surely it's not 100% guarenteed about the outcome of the job? Would these pilots consider legal action if they were not successful with the interview.
Which raises another question. If they were originally Cathay employees and passed all Cathay's checks and then fail at the interview what would this suggest?
Any comments?

There were 19 49ers that chose to take their chances with the job interview. 18 others are continuing with the legal battle. The rest took the cash.
In order to have the chance at the interview one was required to drop all legal actions, the same for those who took the cash. Those that were unsuccessful in gaining employment were left with the cash, 10 months of the salary they were being paid in July 2001.
In all 12 were successful and received job offers. That left 7 that were refused and got nothing but the 10 months pay.
The DFO so very graciously offered letters of reference to some of those denied employment, just a couple of weeks shy of 4 years since they were terminated without cause.
